searching Journey Through Space (space/sci-fi RP) LOOKING FOR PLAYERS

[child of the night 271]

@,

 

maybe but that would be a week so yeah.

@,

If you'll only be gone a week, there should hardly be any problem at all.

[Sinusoid 37]

The roleplay is getting slow; this signifies that there is need for a change in plot, such as the aforementioned assembly on a ship. For this to happen, someone will need to take up the temporary role of medic. Skullbuster, I'm looking at you.

[Sinusoid 37]

Is anyone even here anymore?

[paradoxical 1,735]

I am thinking that the game is dead and it's time to make the autopsy.

 

I do not do this to insult, merely to help us figure out to be better at these things

If you don't wish constructive criticism don't look at the spoilered section.

Please dissect my participation also.

 

 

 

PM.  You may have given too much latitude to Midnight Shadow.  When she took over the game it kinda made other players pushed out of the introduction. 

Further a bit more NPC interaction to grease the wheels might have been helpful.

Finally expect about half the players to drop out of any given game.  When child became integral, you allowed the thing to fall apart further.

You seemed to have some good ideas and I liked that you gave us some steam!

 

Midnight:  I know that you had cross purpose goals to the rest of the characters.  But at some level the whole gaming group is a team in writing a story and going so hard against the plot-line is problematic for derailing [as occurred]. 

Perhaps that wasn't the right character for the story or letting the cola become discolored was a bit much. 

 

Sinu.  I felt kinda like your characters popped out oddly for story purposed.  [maybe I'm misinterpreting the intent?]  If you wanted Pie to follow you then I needed a "follow me" type statement.   Banana skipped off and I posted that my character lagged behind and that was kinda the end of that discussion.

 

Child: tough break with scheduling.

 

Other characters: you may need to be more proactive.  I don't even remember you. 

 

 

[Sinusoid 37]

If this roleplay is dead, it needs to be revived. As long as no one has forgotten about this, it can be given a more specific or distinct plot. It doesn't have to be over; we just need new, interesting events.

 

@paradoxical

I was simply taking more interest in another part of the story, so I put the other on hold. Now that I think about it, I definitely could have done better.

@,

 

1st is off topic:  This is the format.  (@(member='Sinusoid Mixolydian')(/b), I highlight a smidgen of text and it gives me the option.

 

2nd I'd be game, but I'd prefer a PM type in charge.

 

3rd:  I know that you were taking interest in another part of the story, but that part didn't seem to interest anypony else -- one of the hazards of playing these games.

[Sinusoid 37]

It took me a while to find out how to get that to work, but I figured it out, so yay!

If it's okay with anypony? I would like to add some narrative plot ideas, which was in my opinion was what this RP was lacking.

 

We need also to give roles out to our crew along the voyage which also something I observed. And we need to assemble.

[Sinusoid 37]

If it would be all right, I would like to continue from where we left off, with a new plot.

Also, what kind of role would my OC play, as an audio engineer?

How about inventing guns! That shoot sound! *Mind explodes*

Uhura

 

 

Analyze alien speech to figure out what the language is (or if it's language)

 

What would Ambon do though (unless the question is Water Biscuit.)

I was waiting for the call to assembly.  My characters are written so that they'd answer that call (out of jobs but have potentially relevant career paths)

 

I just don't know how to get you all would be part of the crew.  Especially you, jailbird.

 

Also we need to assume there are NPC crew so that others can join and have us just interact more with the repair-ponies.

[FancyHorse 1,209]

@

You can play the role of Comms officer.

 

What would be going to? Are we a cargo vessel? Are we going to a colony?

[Sinusoid 37]

I've made a few changes to my role-play character, based on my actual self, and I could also be the one who handles the computer database.

 

@

As for plot, I suggest that we were assigned to set a colony on a recently discovered habitable planet, and we drive a cargo ship with the necessary materials to begin building. The ship carries a decent crew, as it will be needed in the colony's early days.

 

@@paradoxical

Ambon and Biscuit would obviously be in charge of farming; it would be very important to the colony's survival.

colony, I thought it was a research/exploration type thing.

Shruggles.

Yeah, the research/ exploration thingy is a much better idea; we should go with that. I was thinking about it, but then I forgot.

Are you talking about me? What happened with the black-and-white soda and stuff was not my fault, and in an advanced government system, I would charged with nothing, because the whole ordeal was Midnight's fault.

No I was saying that to Illusive.  I figure that you'd get off with a probation-y thingie, but a Shadow pony showing little to no remorse for acts against the station -- "let's send them into space with a big crew -- nothing could go wrong there!"

 

Errrm . . . no.

[FancyHorse 1,209]

I don't like the of the "shadow pony" joining about, he's just too out of place. No offense, but I feel it's not a fitting character for this RP.

I apologize; I thought you were the Shadow Pony in that you both have dark avatars. 

 

I agree whole-heartedly that it took the RP into a place which seemed incongruous to the original theme.

 

Should we start a new search thread and a new topic thread  (and just ignore from the point that the Shadow pony took over)?

[FancyHorse 1,209]

@@paradoxical

I suppose we could.

 

We should properly inspect characters before accepting players.

[paradoxical 1,735]

@, I think that the character would be fine as long as the player was subtle at all.  But I admit that I had reservations from the first "Trying to take over the station."  That's a real red flag that the character won't work well with the plot.

I completely agree with what you're saying; I think you're misconceiving my true intentions for this roleplay.

The shadow-pony ordeal is over now, and I was released from control. I didn't like the shadow-pony thing, but I went with the flow. Edited November 25, 2014 by Sinusoid Mixolydian

Again, I was getting confused with two dark colored ponies: Illusive and Midnight Shadow.  Not you.

[Sinusoid 37]

Well now, shall we start the rebooted roleplay? Who is going to create the OOC thread, if there will be one?

All right, I think I understand. I just get anxous over what I perceive as false accusations, which is why I asked so many times. Edited November 26, 2014 by Sinusoid Mixolydian

NP

 

I think we want an idea how the characters will get aboard the vehicle.  I'm thinking to be on the forefront it's an experimental model and therefore it's the first to utilize FTL tech (or equivalent)

Here's my take on the plot, according to what has been said by you two:

Faster than light technology is new to the world, and still in it's experimental phase. An elite team of ponies with various talents has been chosen by the Equestrian Space Organization to explore and conduct experiments on the extraterrestrial worlds throughout the galaxy.

How accurate is that?
